14th Annual Clean the Bay Day Shenandoah River Cleanup

The Town of Shenandoah (in Page County, VA) will hold the 14th Annual Clean the Bay Day - Shenandoah River Cleanup on Saturday, April 16, 2016, from 9 a.m. until Noon.  Volunteers are requested to gather at the Shenandoah River Park and Landing, located at 315 Morrison Road, Shenandoah, VA, at 9 a.m. on this date.    

The Town has participated in the Clean the Bay Day since 2002. 

It is important to note that various other cleanups were held in the Town of Shenandoah over the years prior to 2002, but were not a part of the statewide Clean the Bay Day.  We joined the annual Clean the Bay Day in 2002.  The Shenandoah Clean the Bay Day is a few months earlier than the large statewide effort in June.  We set the earlier date for our Clean the Bay Day efforts, as it is easier to see the debris before underbrush has a chance to grow.  Also, the earlier month lessens the chance of encountering poison ivy/oak and snakes during the river cleanup.   

Volunteers will be provided with orange safety vests, gloves, and trash bags for the April 16, 2016 River Cleanup, which begins at 9 a.m. on Saturday, April 16, 2016, at the Shenandoah River Park and Landing.   

Important Notes: 
Volunteers with and without boats are requested to be at the site at 9 a.m. 
Volunteers under 18 years old must have a parent or guardian present to sign the waiver form prior to the cleanup and to accompany younger volunteers on the cleanup route.   
All volunteers will receive a certificate of participation in the event.  This is a great way for high school students to add to their college application resumes and to receive community service hours credit too.
